The “Seagulls” continue to show inconsistent results, remaining on a wave of mixed successes. Unlike City, which is experiencing a relatively stable season, Brighton is more prone to alternating draws and wins. However, in recent matches under Hürzeler’s management, they have faced two consecutive defeats to Liverpool, losing 2-3 in the League Cup and 1-2 in the Premier League.
Despite these setbacks, Brighton’s standing in the Premier League has not changed significantly. While City remains in the top 2 with 23 points and only one recent defeat, the Seagulls have slipped slightly down the table to eighth place, with a narrow gap from their nearest competitors.
On the other hand, the “Citizens” went through a rough patch, losing three matches in a row. It’s worth noting, though, that these losses occurred across different competitions. The most concerning was the League Cup exit to Tottenham (1-2), followed by a league loss to Bournemouth (1-2) and a Champions League defeat to Sporting (1-4).
The match against the Portuguese side raised particular concerns, as Guardiola fielded almost his full-strength lineup, while the team didn’t seem as determined in the other games. Nevertheless, before this slump, Man City had been performing at a high level. Given Pep Guardiola’s team’s strong form in the second half of the season, there’s no reason for panic just yet.
